Common descriptors are
Batch No. 1403. This Blonde Sour, fruited with late harvest Riesling, is our first Barrel Select release. A number of barrels were hand-selected for their complexity and uniqueness. The white wine oak barrels were topped off with rich riesling must and juice early in fermentation. This technique adds structure and body with soft tannin backing up ripe fruits. Expect huge pineapple from the brettanomyces and mild vanilla and butterscotch from the oak with a balanced tart funkiness.
